Answer: Five Differences at the Horseshoe Match

The Answer

The correct answer is: five changes involving the score stake, horseshoe opening, hatband, bench brace, and tent pennants.

Here is why

  1. The center score stake in the clay pit has a different height.
  2. One horseshoe near the front of the pit opens in the opposite direction.
  3. The large foreground straw hat changes from a red band to a blue band.
  4. The diagonal brace beneath the foreground bench changes angle.
  5. The refreshment tent has a different number and spacing of triangular pennants.

Why people miss it

The sunset, crowd, and repeated stripes pull attention away from the practical shapes along the pit and bench.
